Hmmmm. From where exactly does this quote originate? Not entirely convinced it's accurate - it might be, though (I don't speak Italian) - plus it's missing a big chunk at the end that's not exactly inspirational - quite pessimistic really.https://twitter.com/telesurenglish/status/989998878186397696 …

There's better Gramsci stuff - "primitive infantilism", which can be levelled against most versions of Marxism (though G. was talking about "scientific" materialism); and "pessimism of the intellect, optimism of the will", which is just a pretty cool phrase.

A good jumping off point for Gramsci, and he is worth knowing, is Perry Anderson's New Left Review long essay, "The Antinomies of Antonio Gramsci", first published in the middle-1970s.
